《The Riddler's Handbook: "Lorem Ipsum"》A Great Number of Eggs
Advertisement
This morning, Knight had to oversee a delivery of eggs. He had the exact amount of eggs written down on his checklist but he wanted to make sure that this number was true. So he walked up to the merchant and said “Excuse me, but how many eggs are you delivering this morning?”
The merchant scrunched his eyebrows trying to remember but sighed, “I am sorry sir knight but I do not remember the exact amount. However, I did write this note for myself.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a wrinkled note. It said...
When the number of eggs is divided by 2, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 3, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 4, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 5, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 6, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 7, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 8, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 9, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 10, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 11, no eggs are left over.
The exact amount of eggs is the smallest number that meets the above requirements.
Knight looked at his checklist and nodded. “Alright! It matches.” He said to the merchant. “Pleasure doing business.” The merchant said as he left. What number was on Knight’s checklist?

A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it?Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.
